In DISTRESS.
Extreme DestitutiOn Among People in
Texas.

GALVESTON, May IL.
A News despatch from Austin says the
governor has received a petition from the
county officials of Medina county asking
for a special session of the legislature to pro-
vide for the suffering and famishinR people
in Medina and other counties. The great
mass of the people are represented as having
no money, no credit, no crop prospects and
no property that can be sold, pledged or
mor;gsged. Many are living upon half ra-
tions of corn bread and tank water. Seed
corn and cotton have rotted in the ground.
In one precinct in Medina county 800 men,
women and children are in famishing con-
dition and in other precincts the people will
soon starve unless help is furnished. The
petition is certified to by the county clerks
in the respective counties.

the following significant statements:
"I think, however, that as effective wor-

for which there is no cure. II the kidneys

1t seems to me that the fear of incura-

reform than any one thing. There self is
concerned more than friends and kin,
